Entropy, 2014 Ecosystem entropy production is predicted to increase along ecological succession and approach a state of maximum entropy production, but few studies have bridged the gap between theory and data.

Entropy production and isotropization in Yang-Mills theory with use of quantum distribution function [PDF]
, 2017 We investigate thermalization process in relativistic heavy ion collisions in terms of the Husimi-Wehrl (HW) entropy defined with the Husimi function, a quantum distribution function in a phase space.

Theory of entropy production in quantum many-body systems
Physical Review B, 2016 We define the entropy operator as the negative of the logarithm of the density matrix, give a prescription for extracting its thermodynamically measurable part, and discuss its dynamics. For an isolated system we derive the first, second and third laws of thermodynamics.

Entropy production in classical Yang-Mills theory from glasma initial conditions [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2013 We study the thermalization process in classical Yang-Mills (CYM) field theory starting from noisy glasma-like initial conditions by investigating the initial-value sensitivity of trajectories. Kunihiro et al. linked entropy generation to the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, which gives the entropy production rate in classical chaotic systems, calculated ...

Energies, 2022 The vortex rope in the draft tube is considered as the major contributor to pressure pulsation at partial load (PL) conditions, which causes the hydro unit to operate unstably.

Quantum features of entropy production in driven-dissipative transitions
Physical Review Research, 2020 The physics of driven-dissipative transitions is currently a topic of great interest, particularly in quantum optical systems. These transitions occur in systems kept out of equilibrium and are therefore characterized by a finite entropy production rate.

Statistical Mechanical Theory of a Closed Oscillating Universe [PDF]
, 2009 Based on Newton's laws reformulated in the Hamiltonian dynamics combined with statistical mechanics, we formulate a statistical mechanical theory supporting the hypothesis of a closed oscillating universe.

Study on performance and flow loss of reactor coolant pump with different laws of guide vane angle
Energy Science & Engineering, 2023 To study the influence of different laws of guide vane angle on the performance of reactor coolant pump (RCP), five models of RCP with different guide vane were designed, and the three‐dimensional numerical calculation was carried out.
